Sunburn festivel was started in 2007 as a three-day music festival in Goa. The venue of the festival’s 10th edition in 2016 was shifted to Pune due to several reasons, including pending dues.

The fest, which is being organised in association with Percept Live and Klassique Events Goa, will return to Goa this year, after three editions in Pune.

“Sunburn follows the mantra of ‘for the fans’, by the fans, of the fans. We’ve evolved from being a music festival to an aspirational global brand with millions of loyalists. We also have the best DJs lined up for the festival and aim to close the year on a high.

“In addition to introducing an all new underground variant -‘SOLARIS’, we will also be raising the bar by integrating the latest global technology and SFX to amplify the overall festival experience. We are sure that fans who attend Sunburn 13 will be talking about it for a long time to come,” Karan Singh, COO, Percept Live, said.
